Now taking new clients! I believe in taking a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. Each person's experiences and challenges are unique, and I tailor treatment plans to meet the specific needs of clients. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Somatic therapy, and Breathwork, I help clients develop coping strategies, gain insight into their thoughts and emotions, and make positive changes in their lives. I specialized in ages 12 and up with Eating disorders, PTDS, Trauma, ADHD, LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, depression and Narcissistic abuse recovery.

Many people go through life and encounter hardships and obstacles that at times may seem impossible to overcome. You deserve a nonjudgmental, supportive guide to walk that path with you for as long as you may need. Utilizing a humanistic lens, I strive to create a safe and supportive space using empathy and acceptance in order for clients to gain valuable insight, identify strengths, realize their capabilities, and heal.

My goal for each therapy session is to respect the client, allow them to be heard, appreciate where they are coming from, and help guide them through their struggles or issues. My approach to therapy is to utilize an integrative approach with clients. What this means is that I utilize different approaches for different people, as we are not all alike. Whether you're suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, or any other kind of challenge, you want a therapist you feel comfortable with and who can help you bring about change. I have experience working with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

There are a lot of thoughts about what therapy looks like. Luckily, therapy itself is becoming more understood, which is amazing since that's actually what therapy is- being understood. If you are looking for support and to be known, then I might be the right fit for you. I'm not here to bore you with unhelpful clinical language, in an attempt to psychoanalyze you. I'm here to connect, listen, and ultimately strive to understand you and your unique situation. Many people underestimate the power of being heard, and supported - exactly where you currently are in life.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
